This beautiful farmhouse has been meticulously restored by Trudy with furnishings true to its original era. The land surrounding the farmhouse was absolutely gorgeous, and the property is well located for many tourist activities. Sheep were out wandering on the road, and it is truly idyllic. Thank you, Trudy, for a wonderful stay.

Quiet country house

Lovely period farmhouse. The owner Trudy was very helpful and responded to all requests and issues promptly. Lovely views and walks. Safe for children, but since the house is full of lovely antique furniture it is not ideal for families. Very suitable for those looking for peace and quiet in a very beautiful setting.

Definitely a Memorable Experience

Trudy is an extremely attentive host. The home has been restored with care, and her passion for an authentic experience for guests is evident. If you are looking for modern amenities, this farmhouse is not for you. I would not recommend it to anyone with children as the furniture is abundant. Additionally, the stairs are shallow and not easy to navigate if anyone in your party has mobility issues. There is, however, a bedroom downstairs with a commode in the room (behind a screen) should anyone need it. The property feels safe and Trudy stays on site. Go with an open mind and a willingness to adjust to the quirks of the old farmhouse and you will have a memorable stay.

Wonderful, unique and special experience

This was such a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to stay in a beautiful and lovingly restored period home. It truly was like taking a step back in time and like staying in a museum! Trudy was absolutely fantastic and I am so impressed with how she has cared for this home and that she opens it up for others to enjoy this property. My favorite parts were playing the piano by the fire in the living room each night and having our path home blocked by sheep one morning. This is such a special town and a true gem. Thank you, Trudy!

Back to the eighties

Beautiful well preserved house. Very nice landlady/ owner, great hospitality. The house expires a authentic athmosphere of the past. Great for music, art and literature with piano and library. Very quiet besides some sheep, interesting walks into the Ox mountains. Mind your head within the house.

Wonderful getaway

I stayed three nights with my husband and 15 month old. Trudy was very accommodating and did a wonderful job of restoring this farmhouse. It is so idyllic and felt like you stepped into the past, but also cozy and welcoming. Neighboring sheep are near the house and there are a couple of fenced sections of the yard that we were able to let our toddler roam around. She was very responsive to messages and accommodating of our fluxuating arrival and departure times. Would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here!

1880s farmhouse

You will feel like you went back in time at this farmhouse. Trudy is lovingly restoring it, using materials authentic to the time, from the pull chain WC to the farmhouse sink. We can’t wait to come back and see the progress she’s made with the rest of the grounds.

Bona fide

This is the real deal. If you're looking to step back a hundred years or so, this is the right place. Trudy has painstakingly restored the look and feel of an elegant Ireland farm home and property, complete w antique fixtures and accessories. Fear not, there's plenty of modern conveniences (microwave, wifi - albeit weak, etc) but that's no fun.

Unique Restored Farmhouse Stay

The location is absolutely stunning, with mountain views, beautiful country walks, and nearby exploration (we explored Sligo County, beaches, and even up to Slieve League and Donegal). It is abundantly clear that Trudy has put so much thought and love into restoring this farmhouse. It is a truly unique stay and special if you are comfortable following all the rules that Trudy understandably has to keep the place running smoothly. You should be prepared to treat this property with the love and care that Trudy does. Each room is filled with antique treasures. So much so, that every room is full- the tables, the windowsills, every surface has special items (some very fragile). Even the furniture is antique and special- the original kitchen table, the chairs in the sitting room, etc. Our 5-year-old said at dinner one night how lucky he felt to stay in the house!

Planning our return

Incredible experience! you truly feel emersed in 18th century but with amenities .. Trudy is delightful and has painstakingly restored a piece of time. Beds are so comfy after a long day of trecking, The house is full of artifacts of the time, The outside space with view of the surrounding mountains sprinkled w sheep and valleys at sunrise/set is spectacular, arrive in daylight hours as lack of light pollution is excellent for stargazing but not navigation :-) ... I could go on... But most telling would be.. Our family (2 adults 2 grown kids) .. plan to return to slow down and simply spend more time in this special place...we only had three nights in Ireland consequently spent most of the day away from the house site seeing... Sligo, is about 20 min by car and cool little river town w all you need Thank you Trudy for creating this special space!!!

Historical Irish country house

We really enjoyed our time at Trudy’s old Irish farmhouse. This is more than a stay, it’s an experience. We explored the surrounding countryside during the days and enjoyed the unique ambiance and history of the house in the evenings. Trudy was very welcoming and had detailed instructions laid out throughout the house. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a unique and authentic Irish country experience.

Cozy Country Stay

What a beautiful property! Trudy was so wonderful in her instructions to arrive and was very responsive and friendly. We felt at home instantly. Trudy has taken care of every detail from the fully stocked kitchen to fire wood, etc. her eye for detail extends to the beautiful antiques and artwork that fill the home. She even provided a beautiful bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary trip. She had great suggestions for things to do in the area and there is so much to do! We would recommend this to anyone who loves a quiet cozy country stay.

A hidden gem

Wow! A museum in itself. So much character in the cottage. It has the most warming atmosphere. Trudy is a true gem, with many a tale to tell. The work she has done on the cottage is perfect. Located away from the main road. You here the sheep, the birds and the rustle if the trees. The early morning mist over the mountains is stunning. With beaches not far and the Irish air it's a place to experience. All ready booked for the summer. A huge thank you Trudy.

Fascinating stay at restored farmhouse

We stayed 1 week at Carrowcullen and it was a wonderful and very special week! As our own home is furnished scandic- light and open, we felt like we were adjusting from day to day more to our new surrounding. Every day we discovered more of all the antiques and details in the house: furniture, original porcelan to use, lights, fabrics, different embroideries, pictures, books etc. Besides that Carrowcullen is equipped well with all you need and if you don't care much for old toilet- technic, you can use the usual one in a small room unter the stairs ;) I especially want to mention the cute bathroom with an old iron- bathtub to take a rain-shower, it is wonderfully decorated! The hidden TV was not used once, instead we spent most evenings with candles in front of the cosy fireplace or watching the stars outside. The surrounding of the house is very quiet, you rarely just hear a sheep or a cow and the views are beautiful. It was perfect walking our dog around, he could play in a nearby little stream. We discovered the beautiful beaches around( closest is Aughris beach- with the beach- bar/ good food, views& vibes), went to discover Sligo, the Ox mountains and took a bath in Lough Easkes. All in all- a perfectly relaxing week! Thank you Trudy for your friendly and personal welcome, the lovely welcome- gifts and information about the area and pub- music( we definitely have to come back to experience more!).

Christmas at Carrowcullen Farmhouse 🎄

Spent Christmas at this outstanding 1880’s Farmhouse. It was like stepping back in time with all the everyday life essentials. We were welcomed with the most loveliest hoist and owner who made us feel welcomed and at home. The owner decorated this farmhouse in a traditional and heartwarming style for Christmas with personal touches for my 6 year old granddaughter with her own room decorated from children’s Christmas books to children’s Christmas decorations even my cat received his very own cat Christmas stocking with individual touches for all, from the owner. Myself and my family had the most wonderful Christmas here arriving the day before Christmas Eve and leaving the day after Boxing Day. This is a place to relax, go back in time, absorb classic timeless pieces of furniture and art work, countless books, culture and most importantly good old family quality time together without modern day devices stopping us communicating, therefore allowing us to enjoy being in each other’s company. Would Highly recommend this experience of an old time Irish influenced Farmhouse with only a 20 minute drive straight into Sligo town. I received a handmade crafted gift from the owner which l will cherish and appreciate and hold a memory where it came from.

Set in idyllic settings, this beautifully restored farmhouse was an inspiration and joy to stay in.

Beautifully restored and an attention to detail that will keep you in wonder for the duration of your stay. Even though there was good wifi our kids ignored it for three days and simply marvelled at the house contents, a level of art conservation and preservation to authentically capture the spirit of this house. Set in idyllic settings, with great walks in nature and close proximity to beaches and shops, this property was an ideal get away to recharge our family's batteries. Trudy's welcoming atmosphere and friendly disposition made the experience an even better one, not too mention the fresh eggs from Heather's Hens daily, keeping us well fuelled for busy days. I would recommend this as a great spot for families or a group of adults wanting to explore and be active coupled with the calm of a country hideaway. We will definitely be back, thanks Trudy for a truly memorable experience.

Carrowcullen, August 2021

My family and I spent two very special weeks in Carrowcullen House in August 2021. Trudy has gone to great lengths restoring this house, with amazing attention to detail, allowing her guests to experience a beautifully restored heritage property. Everywhere you look in the house there is a something of interest; carefully chosen period furniture, a wonderfully diverse library and beautiful art work. The house itself is very cosy and Trudy offers a detailed guide to the workings of the house in her welcome letter which is worth the read. Trudy’s flock of hens and quail gifted us with a very welcome supply of eggs on our arrival. There was a convenient supply avaible from the honesty box which we regularly purchased. A real treat! The house is very well located, only a few minutes drive from Aughris beach and pier. Aughris Beach Bar serves wonderful food and is well worth a visit. There are forest walks next to Carrowcullen house and the local roads were quiet, offering great cycling routes with beautiful views across to Belbulbin and Knocknarea. Communication with Trudy was excellent throughout and her responses were always prompt. She was a wonderful host and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Trudy!
